NORWICH, SEPT. 21.—The attendance at St. Andrew's Hall this morning was very numerous. The anthem, composed for the coronation of his present Majesty, in which " Rule Britannia" is so skilfully interwoven, was well performed, and proved at once that the Hall was admirably adapted for the broad effect of the orchestra and vocalists united. The choral anthem was finely done. The unearthly sounds of the trombones, and the subdued tones of the chorus, were splendidly contrasted. The splendid harmony of the anthem of Orlando Gibbons, composed in 1603, judiciously accom panied on the organ by Mr. Tulle, created such an impression that it was encored, the audience standing. The chorus-singers got over the difficulties of the time, with the aid of the conductor's baton, in the most creditable manner. H. Phillips's charming air by Handel was given by him with such truly devotional feel ing and intense pathos, that he was called upon to repeat it. The thirdpart of the scheme was of extraordinary interest, inasmuch as it was taken up with the first performance in this country, in an entire form, of " Mozart's Requiem." The "Requiem xternum," " 0, remember not, Lord, our sins," with Willman's delicious tone on the corno di bassetto in the opening, was beautifully done, and was a fine introduction to the terefic " Dies croe," (" Lo ! he cometh"). The crash was tremendous, and the brass instru ments, with Tulle's immense pedal execution on the organ, were quite overwhelming. The tromboni in the " Tuba mirum" ("Hear the trumpet's awful summons") were almost calculated to realize the mighty conceptions of Mozart, to raise the dead from the tombs. We cannot conclude without awarding a tribute of praise to Mr. Turk for his efficiency at the organ. The attention also of Sir George Smart, as conductor, was unremitting. There is but one step from the "sublime to the ridiculous," but as the sublime is not often reached the antithesis is more fre quently realised. The " Redemption" had finished; a little fat individual rushed up to the orchestra, and, accosting Sir G. Smart, said, " Ibe going to cry." " What for," says the fa tigued conductor. " For mooney, cur." " You must not make a noise here," replied Sir G. Smart. " Aye, but I wull." " You will ; what do you mean ? Who are you ? You are no singer." " Ees I be," said the man, who had on a nondescript dress. " What, in that dress?" said Sir George. " No, zur, I cry in this dress, but sings in t'other, and plays upon the hell." The man then illustrated his occupation by ringing a large bell, and the company, who were departing, stopped to hear his address. He spoke nearly as follows :—" Ladies and Gentlemen—l begs to state that a gemmen has dropped a brown silk purse, containing ten so vereigns. Whoever has picked it up, and put it in his pocket by mistahe, is requested to bring it to me, or any other gemman hac -Ing here, and th e gemman w h a t h as l os t it, w ill b e very much obliged to him." This address excited roars of laughter. TiftrasnAv Mowsucc.—The conceit last night was not so fully attended as the morning performance. IRELAND. Dublin, Sept. 21. TRADES' UNION. —Last• night there was a numerous meeting of this body, at the Corn Exchange. Several new members were admitted. The last report of the Registry deputation which went into the county of D u bli n on S un d ay last was then read. After which a long and animated discussion took place en the difference of opinion existing between Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Feargus O'Connor, Mr. Reynolds argued that Mr. O'Connor's conduct did not deserve the censure which it was proposed to the meeting to fix on his ally. The meeting, however, thought otherwise, and a vote of censure, concluding in the following words, was passed on Mr. O'Connor:—" We f ee l that we are ca ll e d upon to stat.. , , for the better information of that gentleman (Mr. O'Connor), that nei ther that body (the Trades of Dublin), nor do we believe the Trades of DabLn ever spent a thought upon him, or the line of conduct he may think it right to pursue ; and we also feel ourselves bound to add that we deem any attack upon Mr. -O'Connell at this time both ungenerous and unmanly, and also that that Hon. Gen tleman has the unbounded confidence of this body, and, we are convinced, of the entire of the Liberal tradesmen of Dublin." ENGLisir SYMPATHY.—In connexion with the charge growing out of Mr. O'Connell's denial of English sympathy with Irish wrongs, it has been asserted that Mr. O'Connell approved of the mutilated Municipal Bill for Ireland, and would actually have ac cepted it. The Pilot says, "We have heard from persons in per sonal communication with Mr. O'Connell at the period, that the contrary is the fact." Our Contemporary then proceeds to inti mate that the mutilated Bill ought to have been accepted, but ad mits that its rejection was justified. On the subject of the division of opinion on some subjects among Reformers, the Pilot adds : "We see a spirit of mischief is at work among the Radicals. There are a set of brainless or bribed fellows, running about, evidently to cool the ardour, and through that to paralyze the exertions of Rt.- dicals towards a Reforming Ministry, previous to the pending ge neral election, and that through this feeling Toryism may exten sively creep in. This is intended by some ; others unreflectingly administer to it. We ask is it wise or just ?" LIBERATION or PRISONERS.—The Mail has, in his vocation, been guilty of the grossest perversion of facts and statements with reference to the liberation of prisoners from the gaol of Lifford. If his Excellency sought mob-popularity, rather than obeyed the dictates of mercy in such matters, he did not, as alleged, confine his designs to the children of " mother church ;" for we find—not withstanding a veracious corr es p on d en t o f t h e M a il h as d ec l are d that of Protestants his Excellency discharged " not one"—that son- e members of the " loyal and persecuted" sect did absolutely reap the benefit of the Viceroy's generous disposition ; nay, that the offence of which they had been found guilty was of that nature which might reasonably be supposed to make the Catholic party look with dislike upon any extension of kindness in their behalf. Of the sixteen persons recommended to his Excellency's attention, thirteen were Catholics, and three members of the Established Church. Of the former there were liberated fire, or little more than one-third—of the latter, not only the entire, but there was added to their number one individual, who, being a single man, and not having such claims as the wants of a family dependent upon his exertions would furnish, the inspector and governor of the gaol did not feel called upon to recommend ! And what was the crime Of which these parties were guilty? An attack upon the habitation of a peaceable Catholic resident, of the town of Pettigo !—Register. THE RUFFIANLY ATTACK.—We said that the Mail would dis claim the base attack made by a dull Tory paper on Mr. O'Con nell, in reference to his present domestic calamities. We have not been deceived. There is something manly in the malignity of the Mail—it is only a most noxious species of viper that hisses on all occasions. Our contemporary says :—" We have very rarely al luded to Mrs. O'Connell—and never without all the deference due to her sex, and all the respect which we sincerely feel for her amiable and unobtrusive virtues." Mr. O'Connell, as a public character, is a fair subject for public remark—but the wretch that would invade the privacy of domestic life, and make domestic cala mities a subject of vulgar merriment, however his external ap pearance may entitle him to rank among human beings, has in his heart no human sympathies. —Freeman. THE REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND MARRlAGES.—Yesterday a full meeting of the Board of Di rectors and Guardians of the Poor of Mary-la-bonne took place, for the purpose of electing a superintendent-registrar, and four r egistering officers, to do the parish duty under the above Acts. This being the first metropolitan district in which 'such proceedings have taken place, in anticipation of these measures, a great number of strangers were attracted to the workhouse by the novelty of the scene. Mr. Wadmore was in the chair. The candidates were Messrs. H. C. 'Wilson, Clapp, Kensett, Sinclair, Bell, Bagster, Staines, and Boys. The election was decided by ballot, though, from the popu larity of some of tho candidates, and the previously-expressed sentiments of many members of the Board, scarcely a doubt existed as to who were to be the appointed individuals. Having drawn forth the votes, the Chairman announced the returns to be as follow :—Mr. Wilson to be superintendent registrar and managing officer ; Mr. Kensett to be registrar for the district of All Souls and Trinity, which contains 3,380 houses, and 34,000 inhabitants; Mr. Bell for the rectory di vision, containing 900 houses, and 30,000 inhabitants ; Mr. Clapp, for St. Mary's district, containing 9 ,760 houses, and 26,300 inhabitants ; and Mr. Bagster, to be registrar for Christ Church, the fourth and last district, containing 4,150 houses, and 31,500 inhabitants. The fortunate candidates returned thanks, and promised to discharge their respective duties with fidelity and diligence. It is said that the situation of the su perintendent registrar will be worth at least 300/. a year. The latest agricultural accounts from France state that there has not been such falling off in the produce of the wheat crop since the year succeeding the battle of Waterloo. According to accounts from the canton of the Gri sons, the Rhine and other rivers overflowed their banks on the sth inst. at several points of that canton, and occasioned great devastation. The manufacture of beetroot sugar has been re cently making rapid strides in France. La Paix says that the whole question respecting that manufacture will be settled satisfactorily by Ministers in the ensuing session of the Chambers. On Tuesday evening, between five and six o'clock, the following daring highway robbery was committed on the person of Mr. Atkinson, an elderly gentleman, residing in Chalton-street, Somers-town. It appears from the statement of Mr. Atkinson that he was returning home, and when he arrived about half a mile from Kensal-green, on the Padding ton side, he was suddenly attacked by three tall powerful fel lows, having the appearance of excavators, armed with blud geons, who took from him his watch, gold chain, and appen dages, and also his purse. The ruffians effected their escape. A few evenings ago, Mr. —, a Magistrate at one of the police offices , hired a cab for the purpose of journey ing a few miles out of town. " How much is the fare ?" said his Worship. " Vy," said the cabman, "as I've seed you afore, I shan't charge more nor a crown." " That's too much, man," exclaimed Mr. , " as you'll not be more than an hour going." " Vell, now, and s'pose I does it in an hour, I ought to have vot I hax, and I'm sure yer Vorship oughtn't to grumble, for you fined me five bob t'other day, and war'nt more nor half a minute about it neither !" A few days since a poor fellow, named George Gill man, belonging to the parish of St. Peter, Sandwich, and lately transferred to the Eastry Union Workhouse from that town, in a fit of despondency, cut his throat in a most she..;king manner. The wounds, it appears, were not mortal, and the man is likely to recover to enjoy the coiqfbris of his situation for some time longer.--Kent Herald. We learn from our Toronto Papers that the Right Hon. Edward Ellice arrived in that city on the Bth inst. Mr. Ellice and his family have been long and intimately connected with the political and commercial affairs of the Canadas. He is the owner of a rich and extensive seignory in Lower Ca nada, and of other lands in this province and the neighbouring State. On our return from England we gave him credit for liberal intentions towards the colonists, but are recently in clined to believe that the Tory measures of our new Governor and his Canada Company advisers have his approbation. Mr. Ellice is of easy access, and his manners are affable and win ning.— Canada Paper. A late fashionable physician, who, for some years received fees to the amount of 2 0,0001. annually, endeavoured, during the three last years of his life, to ascertain the sources of the diseases to which he was principally indebted for his wealth. After comparing the memorandums of each year, he made the following as an average calculation :—Vauxhall, theatres, and places of worship, 1,600 ; indulgence in wine, spirits, and smoking, 1,300; indolence, 1,000 ; sudden changes in the atmosphere, 1,200 ; prevalence of the north or east winds, 1,800; force of imagination, 1,500; gluttony, 1,300; quack medicines, 900 ; love, 10 ; grief, 850 ; unsuccessful gambling, 900; contagion, 900; study, 950; reading novels, 450; of the doetor, 1,500. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTENII3ER, 23, IS3G. STATE OF IRELAND. that purpose. Many of these boroughs, the historian says, were not incorporated, till after writs had been issued to se cure the return of minions subservient to the views of the Court party. Such were the seeds of dissension sown by the first pedantic monarch of the House of Stewart, and they were but too industriously kept alive in succeeding reigns by the Ormonds, Straff or d s , and Whartons, w h o success i ve l y pre sided over the destinies of this ill-fated Principality. The latter nobleman was one of the Lords Justices, who in the year 1715, during the first Scottish rebellion, when Irish Catholics, that is the majority of the Irish people, were the only sect of British subjects not disaffected to the reigning sovereign, recommended such unanimity to the Commons, as might " put an end to all other distinctions in Ireland but that of Protestant and Papist firs est ab poste doccri." If the Liberals should now adopt this policy under the effi cient and impartial Government of Earl Mulg-rave, what would become of the faction? But such was the policy that produced civil wars, rebellions, Orange dominion and as cendancy, tithe persecutions, and all the other train of mis chiefs, to which this country has been hitherto exposed by the remissness or selfishness of its rulers. No wonder the author of the "Wealth of Nations," that profound philosopher and discriminating observer of cause and effect, should com plain of the effects of this system, as preventing the im provement of Ireland ; and recommend a union, as the best means of interesting- on our behalf the sympathies of honest Englishmen, and thus put an end t o suc h a system. " By an Union with Great Britain," says Adam Smith, "the great part of the people of all ranks in Ireland would gain an equally (alluding to Scotland) complete deliverance from a much more oppressive aristocracy—an aristocracy not founded like that of Scotland, in the natural and respectable distinc tions of birth and fortune, but in the most odious of a ll dis tinctions, those of religious and political prejudices—distinc tions which, more than any other, animate both the insolence of the oppressors, and the hatred and indignation of th e oppressed, and which commonly render the inhabitants of the same country more hostile to one another than those of different countries ever are." This is a most perfect picture of the state of the community in Ireland, as it existed for centuries past, and must still exist, as ion?: as we are denied the benefit of any one principle of the British Constitution. The people of this country, encouraged by the events of the last seven years, not less than by the promises of the pre sent Government, expect an immediate and total change of this state of things. In my next letter, I shall endeavour to point out, what seem to be the views and determination of Government in this respect. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. " Summa sequar fastigia rerum"—Vntc. Srn,—l promised, some time ago, to send you a few let. ters on the state of this country, in which I would keep in view, First—How Ireland has been treated since the fi!st es tablishment of the English dynasty. Second—What seem to be the views of the present Go vernment towards her. Third—The facilities and difficulties affecting the accom plishment of these views. I shall now endeavour to fulfil my promise ; having premised that the notion of doing so had been suggested to me by my own feelings and observations, while sojourn ing for a few days with a friend, in the county of Wex ford, during the early pert of last month. His lodgings were for the purpose of bathing, on the sea coast, near the ancient and celebrated church of Bannow ; the very spot, as some say, on which the English landed, on the Ist of May, 1170, for the purpose of establishing that power and connexion which they have ever since retained and continued with this country. Whether or not this, or the more frequently mentioned promontory of Bagenburr, which lies about two miles to the South West, be the identical spot, is not material to my present purpose. The former retains some vestiges of antiquity not fully de veloped, while the latter exhibits the remains of that very foss and mound, said to have been formed for the protec tion of the first English adventurers. But independently of all the historical, legendary, and traditional information associated with the place, and gratifying to the antiquarian, there are other objects of deep interest to the political eco nomist and statesman, much more visible in this locality than, perhaps, in any other part of Ireland. It is the es tate of Mr. Buse, that well known resident landlord, who has so signally distinguished himself in promoting, by pri vate and public example, the welfare of his country. 'While on one side the stranger has pointed out to his view the very remarkable rock that first attracted the attention of the invader, he beholds on the other a most perfect model of modern rural comfort and civilization ; the scene is, alto gether, calculated to excite conflicting sentiments in the mind of one, even moderately acquainted with the history of Ireland ; for while by one view he is reminded of all that this country has suffered during the nearly seven centuries that have passed away since she became subject to the British dominion, by others he is cheered with the prospect of plenty and happiness, and feels convinced that she has within herself abundance of such resources, if all classes of society would honestly discharge the duty of their relative stations. He sees more than English comfort diffused around him, and begins to hope that the regeneration of the country is commencing—the very spot which first bound her to Great Britain being the first to derive benefit from that union, and become an example to the rest of the nation. Bannon, including its several townlands and sub-denomi nations, lies to the South West of, and is about 16 miles dis tant from the town of Wexford. It is a tract of land running from North East to South West on the sea coast, and measuring about four miles in length and two in breadth. According to this calculation it should contain about 5,000 statute acres ; but what may be the exact admea surement and extent, having no better reeans of ascer taining than my own ocular survey during a few agreeable drives through it, I know not ; but being informed that Mr. Boyce derives about 8,000/. a year from this portion of his property, I think I cannot be much mistaken in my es timate. The average value of the land, independently of its present highly cultivated state, proximity to the sea, and the facility thus afforded of procuring excellent manure, would be about 1/. an acre. Some of the tenantry, how ever, pay 3/. an acre, and are well pleased with the in terest they have in their farms at that rent. Others pay only two and sixpence for land which twenty years ago was not worth much more, being then an uncultivated waste ; but to promote their industry and electoral independence, Mr. Boyse granted them leases at that period, which are yet unexpired. This is now, if not the most valuable, cer tainly the most beautiful and thickly inhabited part of the estate, and sufficiently rich and productive to enable the oc cupier to lay by as much money as might probably purchase the fee by the time their leases shall have expired. Many of these tenements include no more than two acres of land, on which, with some other produce of industry, large fami lies are comfortably supported and provided for ; in fact, the entire of the Bannow estate sustains a greater number of human beings than any other of equal extent in Ireland, on which there are not towns or villages. There is here but one small village, Carrie, the scite of the Roman Catho lic Chapel. The remainder, however, of the 5,000 acres is, for the most part, thickly studded with farm houses, and cottages in the neatest order, resembling the vicinity of Hamburg, Hampstead, or some such city outlet, more than an unrepresented community, or sea coast, eighty Irish miles distant from the metropolis. The most interesting .pc , cies of economy manifest throughout this beautiful dis trict, on every perch of which humanity is depicted in the number and industry of the occupants, is the manner in which the entire is traversed and intersected by excellent roads, the greater number of which have been constructed at the landlord's,. own expense, for the employment of his tenantry, at those seasons of the year when they were not necessarily engaged with their own little farms, and for the accommodation of themselves and the public at all sea sons. From what I have now stated it may be fairly in ferred that this estate must be, according to its extent. and rural situation, the most valuable in Ireland. The fact, I believe, is so. It is valuable alike to landlord and tenant. One enjoys the fruits of his residency and super intending care of a stout, healthy, moral, and industrious tenantry ; while the other is joyous, comfortable, and inde dent, and grateful for favours enjoyed by very few other occupants of the Irish soil ; cherishes within himself notions of superiority, together with that sincere love of home and of his country which the example of a good landlord has so liberally implanted and encouraged. Here, indeed, i s something like the appearance and spirit of nationality. The lord of the soil and his numerous retainers are quite unanimous, in their views on all matters of importance to their country ; and it is almost superfluous to add that Mr. L'oyse's political principles, and other excellent qualities as a resident landlord, not less than his talents and splendid literary acquirements, render him one of the most influ ential among the few public benefactors venerated by the people of Ireland. I am therefore minute, as 1. thinit it the duty of a public writer to be, in collecting for the purpose of general example and imitation, many of the in cidents of this place, and the political attributes of its singularly disinterested, domestic, and yet distinguished proprietor. What he has done in his own neighbourhood, and among a few thousand of its inhabitants, might be done throughout Ireland, and among its millions of people, if all the Aristocracy of the land were actuated by similar motives and principles. Here is to be found neither local vice, nor misery, nor discontent, nor laws violated in con sequence of the destitution of the people, and the ascend ancy spirit of their landlords. What a lesson to the Tory absentees and opposers of every measure calculated to confer peace, happiness, and comfort on their country. He who has caused all the local comfort and contentment just mentioned is a supporter of the present Government, because he thinks them disposed to effect on a large what he has done on a small scale for the people of Ireland. For these reasons have I selected the place of his residence and influence, whereby to illustrate my autumnal essays of this year, on the state' of this much noted country. This is the first year since the connexion with England in which the people of Ireland begin to think themselves really under the protection of a paternal Government. Heretofore they believed, the first care of every min i st r y managing- the affairs of this great part of the United King dom to be—to uphold. an ascendancy faction—such as that which has been the bane of Ireland for six hundred years. This is the six hundred and sixty sixth year of the British connexion, and it may be perhaps an exciting novelty to some of your sanctified or biblical Contemporaries of the Press—if not to many of your readers—to learn, that a few serious persons in the part of the world of which I write, re gard this number as very auspicious to themselves, and ominous to their enemies. They say it is the Number of the Beast mentioned in the Apocalypse (666), and that by the " Beast" itself is typically signified the Ascendancy or Orange-faction, which has so long been the curse of Ire land, but which, through the energy of O'Connell or Lord Mulgrave, is to be this year crushed for ever ! ! ! I shall not dwell upon the subject longer than to observe that we cer tainly can trace the Ascendancy-faction almost as far back as the first English invasion, long before the' epithet Pro bestant or Orange was annexed to this anti-national system. And all honest and rational men will perhaps be glad to re flect, that such Machiavelian policy originated not, either in the Reform of our religious or civil institutions ; and that the " spirit of the age," which, i n th e re i gn o f H enr y the VIIIth, promoted the Reformation ; and in that of James the lld, the Revolution, neither dictated nor established that selfish and perverse policy that has ever since been so detrimental to the peace and happiness of this country, but which is now about to be extinguished for ever. In the reign of Edward the Ist., about the year 1273, just one century after the introduction of the British Dy nasty, the Irish people petitioned Edward to " grant the free enjoyment of the laws of England to the whole body of Irish natives indiscriminately"--and they offered him through the Chief Governor Ufford 8,000 marks for doing so. Ed ward was willing to comply with the people's wishes, and wrote several times to his Deputy to that effect (See Plow den, vol. 1. p. 193), but his intentions were defeated by a faction. Similar attempts to establish equal laws and rights were made by the Irish people and British Sovereign during succeeding reigns, till the year 1613, wh en J ames th e Ist, convinced by his Deputy Chichester, of the necessity of forcing the Reformation, repressing discontents, preventing disaffection, &c., by means of a Protestant Ascendancy, granted his sanc6an to the creation of 40 new boroughs for PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.
